It's the most wonderful time of the year: The 2018 IKEA catalogue is about to be released.

Starting from Monday, the paean to streamlined Scandinavian minimalism will begin to drop into letterboxes and IKEA stores, promising all the organisation, affordability and flat-pack furniture that your heart could possibly desire.

It's such a exciting time, so full of promise and joy, before the wool is pulled from your eyes and you end up back at home with a blue FRAKTA bag full of tealights and PEPPAKARKA cinnamon biscuits.

Nevertheless, to celebrate this auspicious occasion we've picked seven super-Scandi, super-Instagrammable homewares you can pick up from the new IKEA range for less than $20. Go forth and shop!

FADO table lamp, $19.99

This lamp is very strange to behold and I want it. Lagom, the Swedish version of hygge, or the Danish lifestyle concept of cosiness, says that you need to pay attention to light, lamps and candles in your house. This lamp is very lagom.

FESTMALTID lunch box, $3.99

So environmentally friendly and sustainable, so destined to transform your al desko work lunches into something extra special, so damn affordable!

KLOCKREN pot lids, $11.99

Cool! Photo: IKEA

Have you ever accidentally burned yourself on a metal pot lid because your Swedish Köttbullar meatballs and lingonberry sauce were, quite literally, too hot? That concern will no longer apply to you if you purchase these silicon saucepan covers. Ergonomic and functional.

MAJBRITT cushion cover, $6.99

Millennial pink is over, meet millennial blue, millennial bottle green and millennial fawn. You can have them all in pillow form to artfully display on your couch for a couple of gold coins.

MYRHEDEN brass frame, $14.99

Pinning all your important scraps of paper - wedding invitations, shopping lists calling for more salt and vinegar chips - on your fridge is not IKEA. What is IKEA is clipping everything from sunglasses to cute vintage photobooth snaps to a brass frame that you hang on the wall.

RAGGISAR set of baskets, $7.99

Nothing says IKEA more than a basket. The Swedish behemoth brand has cornered the market in the subtle art of organisation: Hide all your mess in beautiful baskets and everyone will think your home is as perfect as the ones on Wallander and The Bridge. I love this promise of instant decluttering, I live for this promise. I will be buying these baskets.

TUVALIE throw, $14.99

This throw blanket is so chic I would use it for everything: picnics, beach days, to drape over myself as I binge-watch old episodes of The Crown.
